The conversation between Feng Jun and Beauty Lin this ti laid the groundwork for the cooperation between Luohua and the relevant departnts.
Two days later, Tang Wenji flew to Australia with her team, and three days after that, Gazi also flew back. He first reported back to the manor and then went out to find Luo Yuhuan.
Gazi was really... pent up, Feng Jun thought to himself. In his twenties and still a virgin, it’s quite understandable.
After his musings, he swiped open his mobile phone and directly headed to Australia—actually, using the Teleportation Formation saves more Spirit Stones than using Stone Rings, but he didn’t want people to think that the fast travel route from Luohua to Australia was fixed.
Once he arrived, as expected, no one noticed his arrival, and at this mont, it was raining again in Amstan.
Feng Jun once again transford into the appearance of a Porsche on his way to the Spirit Gathering Array, when he happened to run into Tang Wenji.
She was chatting and laughing with four won, and when she saw Feng Jun, she was taken aback, "Who are you?"
Feng Jun snorted, "I say, Little Celestial Master, shouldn’t work be our top priority?"
He could imagine that Little Celestial Master bringing outsiders to such a secretive place like the backyard would not make Zhang Caixin very happy, but she couldn’t ignore her own face, so she could only turn a blind eye.
His appearance had changed, but his voice hadn’t, and Tang Wenji imdiately recognized him, sticking out her tongue playfully, "These are all fellow Daoists. We played around in Sydney and ca over to play for two more days... they are all very devout Daoists, just this once, okay?"
"What can I do to manage you?" Feng Jun laughed. In front of her friends, he had to give her enough face, "It’s just that for those of us on the cultivation path, we still need to focus on cultivation... so are about to surpass you."
"Got it," Tang Wenji replied sullenly. She knew he was talking about Gazi, and her mood suddenly dropped.
Seeing her like this, Feng Jun felt it was inappropriate to say anything more, so he quickly left.
A low voice sounded behind him, "Little Celestial Master, who was that, daring to talk to you like that?"
"An old friend of my dad’s," Tang Wenji’s voice ca over, "That old man has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, let’s not mind him."
"Wow," a female voice shrieked, "an old friend of the Heavenly Master, he looks so young."
"A special technique for maintaining youth?" another woman exclaid, "Little Celestial Master, I want to learn this. As long as you can teach , a three to five million patronage... is not a problem."
Business can also be solicited this way... Feng Jun’s mouth twitched a bit, and he quickly left.
But in his heart, he couldn’t help feeling aggrieved: they actually said I’m an old man?
Zhang Caixin was sitting in ditation in the Spirit Gathering Array, and upon seeing Feng Jun’s arrival, she completed a week-long cycle before standing up, "Finally willing to co?"
"Chen Shengwang’s woman is about to get her work visa," Feng Jun said with a smile, "then you can go back."
"I never said I’m in a hurry to go back," Zhang Caixin replied bluntly, "it’s just that staying alone in the Spirit Gathering Array, not daring to even show my face, feels utterly boring."
"I’ll be staying for a while, two months," Feng Jun casually replied, "Let’s talk after I advance to the next level."
Hearing this, Zhang Caixin flew into a rage, "You’re about to advance, and you want to return to Luohua? What about what you promised ?"
She rembered clearly that Feng Jun had promised her that during his advancent, he would eat more of that Heavenly Fragrance Fruit to help her progress from the Initial Stage of Qi Refining to the Interdiate Level.
"Didn’t I hear you were bored?" Feng Jun laughed, "besides, you just advanced to the Third Level of Qi Refinent."
"I don’t care, you promised ," Zhang Caixin replied without hesitation, "Chen Shengwang can co later!"
Feng Jun laughed, "You’re having fun killing and tearing down houses here, free or exorbitantly priced, with such strong autonomy that I thought you knew how to advance to the Fourth Layer of Qi-refining without ."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Caixin rolled her eyes, "Did I do sothing wrong? Those special front-line workers are really admirable... If you’re not happy, I won’t do it again, but I don’t think I was wrong."
When no outsiders were around, she didn’t hide her true emotions.
"I never said you were wrong," Feng Jun chuckled and sighed helplessly.
"But right now, it’s still the early stages of developnt, and being too flamboyant isn’t great. Let’s just put this matter behind us, but since you asked for four hundred million, it’s uncertain if others will seek you, while others in Luohua might still get harassed."
Zhang Caixin was unconvinced, "I priced it so high precisely to prevent Luohua from being disturbed."
"I understand your point," Feng Jun nodded, then asked rhetorically with a wry smile, "but what’s the result? The result is that Chief Lin and their whole system know about it... four hundred million!"
Zhang Caixin paused for a mont. She wasn’t soone who wouldn’t listen to advice, and then she asked thoughtfully, "Should I choose a precise price point and make them bleed once, hurting them for a long ti?"
Feng Jun shook his head with a bitter smile, "There’s no set way to handle things specifically, right?"
What Zhang Caixin was mostly worried about was being scolded by him. Seeing him sowhat uncertain, she sighed in relief, "I ca to find you for advice, but I couldn’t find you then... You wouldn’t think I shouldn’t have killed those two people, would you? Was I being a bit too bold?"
Feng Jun did think she was a bit too bold, but on second thought, during her ti on the mobile phone interface, sooner or later she’ll have to stand on her own. Not understanding the decisiveness in killings would only make her suffer more.
So he chuckled, "It’s the small group ntality, everybody has it. Without a bit of spirit, could one be called young? If you kill, just kill—don’t overthink it. If others nag, saying you shouldn’t have killed so many, just retort directly."
Zhang Caixin nodded, grinning as she answered, "I just retorted directly. It’s just... I feel like it damages my lady-like image a bit."
"Ahem, you... dare to call yourself a lady," Feng Jun got choked by a mouthful of smoke, coughed several tis before speaking, "Okay, you’re the noble cold-faced assassin lady, that should do, right?"
Zhang Caixin was first taken aback, then nodded with a smile, "I like this setting... I’ve decided, I’ll use it from now on."
She was actually quite worried that Feng Jun would criticize her, because all along her actions were under Feng Jun’s command. She might have been a bit unwilling at first, but gradually, she actually beca accustod to being ordered around.
Actually, this isn’t a very good phenonon, as it guarantees only one voice within the manor, but they also lose flexibility and autonomy. When confronting issues, they can’t make decisive decisions, leading to unnecessary troubles.
Being an assassin is much better; whoever she wants to kill, just kill—at least that’s how she understands it.
After Zhang Caixin explained herself a bit, she proactively asked another question, "When will you advance?"
"In two or three days," Feng Jun answered casually. The recent underwater exploration allowed him to calmly adjust his body in environnts with imnse pressure, serving as the final reinforcent and refinent before advancing.
So now, he just needs to adjust his body to the optimal state, and he can break through.
"That’s good," Zhang Caixin jumped up happily, "I’ll support you with my protection then."
Three days later, on a night, in the small grove of the Daoist temple backyard, where it’s constantly veiled in white mist, a faint mystical scent erged, which then gradually grew denser.
When the scent reached a certain intensity, it started to slowly fade away—this was Feng Jun enhancing the Breath Concealnt Technique formation.
However, it’s a bit late to contain it now.
Avril, being a "shareholder," also stayed at the Daoist temple. From a young age, she liked small animals, having two dogs and three cats at ho in Britain. After arriving at the Daoist temple, she initially wanted a dog too, but was forbidden by Sofia.
Sofia’s understanding of the Spirit Gathering Array ca from Feng Jun’s explanations, and she also saw many dead mosquitoes and so birds around the array.
So she believed Feng Jun’s words, staying near the Spirit Gathering Array for long, should flying creatures endure the spiritual energy impact, there’s a certain chance to "awaken," and as rumored, Luohua himself had two awakened animals.
Sofia was worried if the two dogs guarding the temple would also be affected, and if they shouldn’t use dogs for guarding, how could they replace them.
Feng Jun stated that as long as they stay a certain distance away from the Spirit Gathering Array, the effect diminishes significantly. Hence, as long as the two watchdogs don’t go to the backyard, there’s basically no problem.
However, Avril wanted a dog, which ant a different treatnt. She originally resided in the temple backyard and also had the right to walk around most places. If she then walks a dog—who could forbid her from doing so?
Sofia had a great relationship with Avril but didn’t want to reveal too much of the secrets. While the Spirit Gathering Array’s wonders were unhideable, its true marvels needn’t be specified—in essence, awakened animals seed sowhat magical when ntioned.
Avril asked her twice why dogs were allowed at the entrance but not her, yet regrettably, she always received vague answers, feeling a bit unhappy, saying, "I should at least be allowed to raise two hamsters, right?"
Sofia wanted to dissuade her but refrained due to their relationship, only reminding her not to take the hamsters outside her room, otherwise it’d be disrespectful to the temple.
The scent seeped into the house, causing the two hamsters to beco agitated, incessantly scratching the cage, trying to break free.
Avril’s reaction was slower than the two hamsters; she hadn’t had ti to notice this mystical scent, but was shocked by the hamsters’ agitation. After a long fruitless appeasent, she finally realized, "What’s this scent, so pleasant, and it even affects the hamsters?"
Soon after, the two dogs at the temple entrance also started barking, which she could clearly tell, they were exceedingly excited.
Avril stood up and headed outside, wanting to explore the scent’s source, but was stopped at a corner by the Little Celestial Master, "Sorry, you can’t go any further."
Watching the fog-covered grove, Avril’s eyes blinked incessantly: perhaps this was the real secret of the Daoist temple?
